Hello all
My dads Dad Michael Connell was Married in Manchester Cathedral in the mid to late 1800s to some one Tattersall.
My grandfather was Thomas Richard Connell and his son, my dad Percival William Connell.
If anyone has any info it would be appreciated Thanks

Hi June,
Can you just clarify please.
You say first your "dads Dad Michael Connell "
And then you say
My grandfather was Thomas Richard Connell
But is not your father's father your grandfather?
Is it perhaps one of these men was your grandfather, and the other your great grand father?

Do you have any dates of birth, and places of birth?
Looking at FreeBMD.org.uk (GRO Birth, Marriage & Death Indexes) I can only find:
December qtr 1870
Birmingham Registration District vol 6d, page 101
Connell, Thomas Richard
Can't see a birth for a Percival at all?

In Victoria, Australia.
The obituary in the Herald Sun Newspaper for Percival William CONNELL is dated 2003.
He was born 1921 and this is confirmed by his ww2 enlistment summary.
His next of kin at that time was Isabel.
His father is registered on Victorian Electoral rolls as Thomas Richard CONNELL and he lives with Annie Isabel CONNELL.
When Thomas Richard CONNELL died his mother was listed as Marjory FAIRCLOUGH

So, I see no-one named TATTERSALL, or perhaps I am on the wrong track.
Here is the English marriage.

Thank you eveyone.. lol rather than confusing the generations I acturally did not know the generations except my dad Percival William Connell and his dad Richard THomas, .
I am so excited to see the names of past family i never knew existed, their marriages and even deaths (except my dads)..
My cousin has done some research and says there Thomas Richard's Father, William Connell was the only one of his family who came to Aus.... That was my Great grandfather That means I have family in Uk. Fantastic. .
This is a fantastic site...... thanks so much everyone........ I am blown away by all this information.
kindest regards June Connell

This is the death notice for William CONNELL. It may be of help to you as you continue your research in Australia, but perhaps you already have it.
CONNELL - On the 4th March, passed peacefully away, William, relict of the late Marjory Connell and loving father of Sara (Mrs Warren) Walter, Lily (Mrs Graham), William, Thomas and Charles, aged 69 years. At rest.
The Age. Fri 5 Mar 1920
Death from Victorian Index.
CONNELL, Wm
Father CONNELL, Wm
Mother Unknown
At Melb. East
1920
Reg 2645
Bear in mind, informants for death certifications, were frequently wrong in the information they gave.
In this case it seems the father's name was confused.
Other information about the family is available, but you can let us know your needs when ready perhaps.
